SCARY TALES

It's Halloween time, so how about some scary stories.  Edgar Allan Poe is the first author that comes to my mind when I think of horror stories. The Pit and the Pendulum and The Black Cat are two stories you might enjoy.
Poe was stationed at Fort Moultrie so he has a connection to this area. Check out this website to see more information about Poe and to read some of his stories.  The library also has selections of Poe's works.

Some modern authors of the horror genre are Stephen King, Peter Straub, Dean Koontz, Clive Barker, Graham Masterson, F. Paul Wilson, and John Saul.

Perhaps you'd like to have some fun on Halloween.  Your library has books on Halloween decorations and treats. 

Halloween Treats: recipes and crafts for the whole family
by Donata Maggipinto










Pumpkin carving has become an art form, and the library has several instructional books on pumpkin carving.  One of the is How to Carve Freakishly Cool Pumpkins by Sarah L. Schuette.

Visit the Mt. Pleasant Library or our website to find these and other books to make your Halloween a fun and scary time.

Thanks for reading.
